今天我们来学习一下英文中“眼睛都没眨一下”应该怎么说。
之前我们在第1980期节目中,我们就学过not bat an eye这样的说法,你也可以说not bat an eyelid;或者not bat an eyelash,都是近义表达,表示“眼睛都没眨一下,面不改色,极为平静”to not be shocked, worried, or upset by sth. 或者to remain calm and do not show any reaction;
今天我们这里出现的not blink其实来自not blink an eye,这个表达也是一样的意思;
eg: When I told him the news he didn't even blink (=showed no surprise at all).
当我告诉他那个消息的时候,他眼睛都没眨一下。
eg: When he was told I was expecting twins, Harry didn't even blink.
当哈利得知我要生双胞胎时,他一点也不惊讶。
eg: Laura didn't even blink when I told her that the car was gone.
当我告诉萝拉车不见了的时候,她眼都没眨一下。
eg: I told him I'd quit school, but he didn't blink an eye.
我告诉他我打算退学,可他一点也不惊讶。
